Harding Street Between Atlantic Avenue and Orange Avenue

Additional project updates and information will be published on an on-going basis.

Latest Updates - November 2023

The City’s Contractor, All America Asphalt, is scheduled to begin construction in the area in December 2023 with a scheduled completion, barring weather or other unforeseen delays, Spring 2024.

Improvements will include:

• New ADA compliant ramps / sidewalks and new curbs and gutters;
• New asphalt roadway rehabilitation and new traffic striping; and
• Improved bike lanes with removal of overgrown trees, per City Aborist assessments.

The contractor is scheduled to perform work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM. No parking signs will be posted for a minimum of three days prior to the start of work. Efforts will be made to maintain as much parking as possible.

Intermittent intersection closures may be necessary to complete this project. While the contractor will attempt to open streets as soon as it is safe to do so, we encourage the use of alternate routes during work hours.

The contractor encourages residents to:

• Keep children away from the street and construction activities; and
• Reduce water runoff from driveways and lawn irrigation into the street before or during construction activities.

Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation throughout this project. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the Department of Public Works at 562-570-6530 or e-mail at roger.udabe@longbeach.gov.
